That you need a user messagebus is not mentioned in README
when you start with --system option (see /etc/dbus-1/system.conf)
nor is there mentioned which rights this user should have.
Can you plz add some info about this in the README.
Like:
system.conf default will try to run dbus-daemon-1 as user messagebus
running as root is a bad idea
this user should have following rights
can be created with following command: foo

Because the user does not exist on my system the daemon instantly
crashes (without any err output btw)

The daemon should give an error message on stop.
Like: user foo does not exist plz add it or edit /etc/dbus-1/system.conf
